"The Elephant Man" Review

       The elephant man is a very interesting, heartwarming movie. It is based on the life of John Merrick,  a man with a disease and deformity. The movie itself is amazing, really. It takes the audience through the life of the man that was once frowned and looked bad at because of his physical. He eventually receives respect from others. Watching as his life quickly changed from one thing to another was just simply worth watching. Merrick first appears as a monster in a circus. He eventually taken by a doctor named Frederick Treves and is given a home and care. He gets people to look at him as something good at the very end. Throughout the movie, I myself started getting emotionally attached to Mr. Merrick, like if he were someone I knew and cared a lot about. Eventually I was at the point where I really did want to meet him and I did really think I cared about this character. The Elephant Man is such an inspiring movie and I would recommend it to anyone who would like a good feel.
